I guess they thought it was the free cheese line

The problem with those statistics is the rapid flu swab used by most hospitals and clinics is only about 30-50% at picking up H1n1. I have several people in the hospital with multiple negative rapid flu swabs that are positive for H1N1 when the more specific DNA testing is done. Not to say this is not overblown. Most people are not that sick with H1N1 - but if you do get sick, you get REALLY sick...

Thank you for commenting and especially for speaking in plain English.:) Does the swine flu just clobber someone even if they are very healthy at the onset? I'm sure your really sick hospital patients wished they were immunized beforehand. Will they now be naturally immunized from future strains (other mutations) or just the current one?

And would DNA testing be done on ALL those who have been hospitalized that pull up a negative via the rapid flu swabs? It seems that this flu has not really been tracked in a thorough manner -- or at least I'm hearing many a conflicting story -- and this confusion might be sending some folks to get the shot just because they are erring on the side of caution. And, try as I may, I'm unable to find a link that details the ingredients of the swine flu vaccines. Do you happen to know where I could find that?

I’d believe that more if the “Dear Leader’s” own had taken the shot themselves.

The charts for Calif and Alaska are especially interesting. H1N1 is roughly only %20 of the seasonal influenza.

Some "National Emergency" as Chairman Obamao lied, appealing (as he chooses to do) to FEAR.
